Welcome to a fun lesson about triangles! Today, we’re going to explore the world of triangles and learn about the different types. Are you ready to dive in?
A triangle is a special shape in geometry that has three sides. Let’s count them: one, two, three! The place where two sides meet is called a vertex, and every triangle has three vertices. Each vertex has an angle, and if you add up all the angles in a triangle, you’ll always get 180 degrees. Isn’t that cool?
We can sort triangles by looking at their sides. Here are the three types:
An equilateral triangle has three sides that are all the same length. Imagine a perfectly balanced triangle where every side is equal!
An isosceles triangle has two sides that are the same length, while the third side is different. It’s like having two matching sides and one unique side.
A scalene triangle has sides that are all different lengths. No two sides are the same in this triangle!
We can also sort triangles by looking at their angles. Here are the three types:
An acute triangle has three angles that are all less than 90 degrees. All the angles are sharp and small.
A right triangle has one angle that is exactly 90 degrees. This angle is called a right angle, and it looks like the corner of a square.
An obtuse triangle has one angle that is more than 90 degrees. This angle is wide and larger than the others.
Now that we’ve learned about triangles, let’s remember what we’ve discovered:
Great job learning about triangles! Now you know all the different types. Keep exploring and have fun with shapes!
Triangle Hunt: Go on a triangle hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that have triangle shapes. Can you find an equilateral, isosceles, or scalene triangle? How about a right, acute, or obtuse triangle? Draw a picture of each triangle you find and label its type. Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Build Your Own Triangles: Use craft sticks or straws to create different types of triangles. Try making an equilateral triangle by using three sticks of the same length. Then, make an isosceles triangle by using two sticks of the same length and one of a different length. Finally, create a scalene triangle with three sticks of different lengths. Arrange them to form the triangles and see how they look different from each other!
Angle Detective: Become an angle detective! Use a protractor or a corner of a piece of paper to find right angles in your environment. Look for corners of books, tables, or picture frames. Then, try to find angles that are smaller than a right angle (acute) and angles that are larger (obtuse). Draw a picture of each type of angle you find and label them.

Welcome to Smile and Learn! Today, we’re going to learn about triangles. Do you know how many types of triangles there are? A triangle is a geometric shape with three sides: one, two, and three. The point where two sides meet is called the vertex, and all triangles have three vertices. There is an interior angle for each vertex. Did you know that if we add all the angles together, the result will always be 180 degrees?
We classify triangles depending on their sides or angles. If we classify triangles based on their sides, we get three types: equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. A triangle with three equal sides is called an equilateral triangle. A triangle with two equal sides is called an isosceles triangle, and a triangle whose sides are all different is called a scalene triangle.
If we classify triangles based on their angles, we get three types: the acute triangle, the right triangle, and the obtuse triangle. A triangle with three acute angles is called an acute triangle. A triangle with one right angle is called a right triangle, and a triangle with one obtuse angle is called an obtuse triangle.
Let’s recap: classifying triangles based on their sides, we have the equilateral triangle (all sides equal), the isosceles triangle (two sides equal), and the scalene triangle (all sides different). Classifying triangles based on their angles, we have the acute triangle (three acute angles), the right triangle (one right angle), and the obtuse triangle (one obtuse angle).
Now you know all the types of triangles! Great job!
